Nebraska Certificate of Authority / A Wyoming company
A Wyoming company getting a Nebraska certificate of authority
For a Wyoming LLC the first Nebraska year costs $170: $100 online for the certificate of authority, $10 for the certificate, and Wyoming's $60 yearly minimum. A Wyoming corporation pays $100 online. Wyoming issues its certificate free online.
Wyoming LLC and Wyoming corporation compared
| Item | Wyoming LLC | Wyoming corporation |
|---|---|---|
| Nebraska fee online | $100 | $100 |
| Home paper | Original certificate of existence | Certificate under 60 days |
| Nebraska reports | Odd years | Even years |
| Wyoming certificate | Free online | Free online |
A free certificate eases the clock
Wyoming charges nothing for the online certificate, so the age limit on the corporation version is simple to meet: print it the week you file. The LLC form names no age limit. File the Wyoming annual report first.
Nebraska needs its own agent
A Wyoming agent does not cover Nebraska. Here the agent has to be a member of the entity or a designated third party who lives in Nebraska, or a corporation authorized to transact business in Nebraska, with an office identical to the registered office.
Completing the Nebraska form
Enter Wyoming as the state of organization or incorporation. A corporation also lists its officers and directors with street addresses. The business line describes the Nebraska activity only, and an LLC leaves the home-law office line empty unless Wyoming requires one.
The arithmetic
Nebraska's online LLC filing plus the certificate line is $110, and with Wyoming's minimum the first year is $170. A Delaware LLC would owe $510. Our fee of $199 is separate.
A public record, wherever you are formed
Wyoming's reputation for privacy does not cross the border. The Nebraska filing is public, and the agent and principal office addresses enter it.
A worked case: a Wyoming nonprofit
A Wyoming nonprofit opening a program office in Lincoln files the nonprofit application for $25 online with a certificate of good standing under 60 days old, states its corporate type and whether it has members, and reports in odd years.

A Wyoming LLC with a rental in Omaha
Consider a Wyoming LLC that owns a rental duplex in Omaha. An LLC with income-producing property in Nebraska is transacting business. It prints the free certificate, names an Omaha agent and files online. After that only Wyoming's $60 minimum recurs each year, with a Nebraska report due in odd years.
A Wyoming corporation opening a branch
A Wyoming corporation setting up a Nebraska branch prints a certificate within the age limit, lists its officers and directors, names an agent and files for $100 online. It reports in even years.
Working in order
Confirm Wyoming standing first, pick the agent and send the name inquiry. Gather the officer list or the LLC facts, then print the certificate and have the signature done the same day. Because the certificate is free, redoing it costs nothing.
Holding companies
A Wyoming holding company whose Nebraska links are limited to an account, a loan or a stake in an operating LLC stays on the excluded side. One that owns income-producing property itself does not, and the property rule is written for LLCs.
Both states on one calendar
The Wyoming report runs on Wyoming's date and Nebraska's on its own cycle, and they never merge. List both with owners, and keep in mind that if Wyoming standing lapses the Nebraska filing stands on a certificate that has stopped describing the company.
What the file should hold
Gather the printed Wyoming certificate, the accepted Nebraska application, the agent's letter and the first report year in one place.
If a report is missed
A Wyoming LLC revoked in Nebraska applies again, and a Wyoming corporation or nonprofit reinstates by mail. The Wyoming report carries on regardless.
Ending the Nebraska authority
Ending the Nebraska authority costs $25 online whichever form fits. The withdrawal page explains them.
Keeping the Wyoming record clean
A Nebraska certificate of authority rests on a Wyoming certificate, so a lapse in Wyoming good standing shows up as a mismatch. File the Wyoming annual report each year, and treat the Nebraska biennial date as a second duty and not a replacement.
Timing a Wyoming corporation certificate
A corporation's Nebraska form wants a certificate issued within 60 days. With Wyoming's certificate free online, print it after the officer list is final and file soon after.
Registered agent: first year included, then $149 a year
$199 plus the state fee, including your first year of registered agent service; after that the agent service renews at $149 a year.
